Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a disability rating higher than 10 percent for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo because the evidence did not show occasional staggering during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The clinical examinations did not support 'occasional' staggering, and there was no evidence of the veteran being observed staggering during any medical visit during the appeal period.
